Day 11 - Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah

The drive from Yellowstone was just plain long and tiring, so we got into Salt Lake City right before last call, which was 1 AM. We had just enough time for one brew before closing, so we walked over to a little bar called Bayou (thanks to Ashley P. for the recommendation!), which served a plethora of local brews. We settled on a pint of Uinta IPA, which is brewed in SLC, and was full of flavor and had a nice amber color.


In the morning, we headed to the downtown area and walked over to Temple Square, and saw the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints. The city is centered around the church and street names indicate how far you are from the city center.


Afterwards, we drove about 40 minutes east to Park City, which may be better known to many of you as the setting for the Sundance Film Festival. The city also has some of the best skiing and snowboarding in North America. We had lunch at a great restaurant called Zoom, and walked around the main strip of shops and restaurants.

We are now off to Boise City, Idaho, which is about 5 and a half hours away. Boise is just a necessary stop as the drive straight to Seattle (which is the stop after) is way too long to do in one shot. These 5 to 6 hour drives are really becoming walks in the park with repetition. You just throw on some tunes, start up some good conversation with your allies, and boom, you're done! (that one is for you J to the K!).
